But Sturridge thinks we should expect a few more after finding the 'knack for it.'

He said: "I don’t score a lot of headers but over the last couple of years I’ve actually started scoring them more often so I think I might be getting the knack for it. But I don’t want to talk too soon."

The Liverpool talent continued to praise Gareth Southgate, and highlighted the freedom given to the players by the interim England manager.

He added: "Gareth has done an amazing job to come in at such short notice and put his stamp on the team and how he wants us to play, along with Steve Holland.

"They allowed us to express ourselves and play good football. He's been a breath of fresh air, and we all enjoy working for him and training hard for him.

"I was starting a lot before the World Cup, I was playing all the time, and at the Euros I started to play again. Hopefully now I can continue playing."
